i love my kids so very very much, but i can only take so much whining!!! this afternoon was brutal! rex is whiny because of his teeth and was crawling all over me one second and the next he's fighting to get off of me like it was my idea to hold him in the first place! malloy took a long nap and was all smiles when i went in her room. then as soon as i told her we needed to go downstairs, the flip was switched and out came Mrs. Cranky Pants!!!! "i don't want to go downstairs. i want to go downstairs. come up here with me mommy!! no go away, don't come upstairs. i have to go potty. no! i don't wanna go potty! leave me alone!" and so on! things all seemed to settle once everyone had a drink and a movie was put on. is that horrible of me??!! i guess it's better than the alternative - running away, leaving the kids on a church doorstep...KIDDING of course!!!
even when they're extra cranky, there are glimpses of sweetness. i was talking to my mom on the phone and she told rex "i love you" and he replies "i you"!!!!! first time he's ever said it as a reply on his own - you should feel very special, grandma val!! when neal got home, i told rex to say "i love you" instead of saying anything, he just pointed right at neal. he's a funny boy! malloy also settled down and turned back into my sweet little girl. and then threw my kiss i blew her for bedtime back at me. she's a roller coaster!!! no idea where she gets it from! ;)
